The "opera" commercial that absolutely floored me, and I loved it, was for an
SUV - I think the Lincoln version - with a tenor singing "Home on the Range",
but in Italian. He really sang it beautifully, and I kept thinking "I know
that piece - what in the world is it?" When I got it, I laughed out loud.
Cute commercial.
